Yes pins when I bought it. Had cross bolts added locally.

He's made his choice and the gun is done already. 375 H&H on Springfield action. Looking forward to photos.

I got the shipping confirmation a little while ago. I should have it before the week is over

I have a video of the gunsmith shooting it but it will now load to this site. I'll post pictures when I have it in my possession

All you can do is post the video to YouTube and then put a link to it here. I did it only once to prove to a certain snobby skeptic on here that my "clunky homemade" Mauser 404 did cycle perfectly.

Did the gunsmith set it up for scope? Does the video show him cycling it?

I gotta say, that was very fast turnaround on completing the project. Looking forward to your final report when you have it in hand.

There is no scope on the rifle but it is set up for one. Yes sir it shows him shooting it. In the video he shoots it 4 consecutive times. It cycled perfect

Great. Okay, do you know what scope safety he went with?

If you run out of elevation on your scope, you now know what to do. File some metal off the top of the receiver rear sight dovetail for the military peep. Springfield scope bases are anchored to that dovetail bridge. I suspect manufacturers during the war were not very particular about milling that dovetail (rough machining seems to confirm). Didn't need to be because the sight was adjustable and could remedy any inconsistency.
